Specifications include, but are not limited to: The first major focus of this Master Plan Study will be to analyze all County Departments in the above-named facilities to investigate business processes, operating procedures, workflow, space relationships, adjacencies, communication relationships, and future projections in staff growth. Ultimately, each of these department functions will be evaluated to determine the feasibility of potentially relocating their operations outside of the downtown area. A second component of the Master Plan is to assess the General Services Administration (GSA) Department operations. GSA is located in two facilities. The main headquarters facility is located just north of downtown, adjacent to the newly built Smokey Hollow development in a 123,000 SF split level building on a 5.97 acre site. This building contains multiple services such as fleet, security, housekeeping, physical plant, move management, and the mail center. It is evident from current development patterns that this downtown property is highly desirable for private development and that the County should eventually sell this property to allow for a higher and better use. This means that the County must plan for the relocation of the GSA function to a new, less congested and more accessible location outside of downtown. This will involve assessing the same components of GSA’s operation as those of the other aforementioned departments. A second outlying GSA facility is located adjacent to the North Wake Landfill which houses the Facility & Field Services division. This facility contains an enclosed building with 15,819 SF and two open air shelters for storage of large pieces of construction equipment. It will be important to determine how to reunite the Facility & Field Services function with the other GSA functions. This Master Plan study will also evaluate how other downtown departmental functions could potentially be co-located with the GSA functions, whether in one building, in multiple buildings and/or multiple locations. In addition to the assessment of the GSA department, the scope of this study will also include recommendations on the existing General Services properties themselves including whether the Capital Blvd. property should be rezoned prior to sale and what steps that process would take to gain approval from the City of Raleigh. The selected consultant will be expected to provide a fiscally prudent approach to manage and implement the Master Plan. The components described above will include not only investigation and analysis but also will include programming studies, conceptual design and development of order of magnitude cost estimates. The successful firm muust have proven experience in preparing similar master plans for public entities of similar size.
